Lizette van der Merwe :
Totally disagree! I’m skinny. I excercise and I eat extremely healthy! I have tons of energy!

I don’t know who these people are but I don’t like that he keeps interrupting her and just saying what she said in a different order

Terranova :
I used to be a size 00 and had the body everyone wanted. But what it took for me to get to that size was a minimum two hours of lifting and working out every day (minimal cardio, and lifting to build lean muscle, not bulk… an extremely intentional, carefully crafted exercise routine that could not be deviated from. Same with food. I was eating 2500 to 3000 cal a day, but it was very basic foods and required a ton of meal prep. No eating out, no junk food, no processed food. It was exhausting and took up every minute of my spare time. I had to back off because of life and other things, and in order to maintain that size, I had to cut way back on food/calories (1500 avg) and had to do Pilates and yoga almost every day. And if I look at those periods of my life where I was able to maintain that size…I felt perfect, but I was tired all the time, constantly had fights in my relationships, underperformed at work…it’s not worth it. I’m in a happy relationship & it took me having several meltdowns with him before I realized they were caused by low blood sugar…to understand how much it affected me & that it would cost me that relationship as well. I’ve let it go. I’ve gone up a size or two, but I don’t crash all the time, we don’t fight anymore, & I’m more consistent/stable. That’s way more important to me than having the perfect body.

katypotatie84 :
I think a lot of people though (myself included) try to live and operate on the cusp of what is healthy/unhealthy. Just enough to feel ok, think straight but nothing to spare. I completely understand how toxic that is, but it is what it is unfortunately 😕 I challenge this mindset constantly, its exhausting

candicerosales1 :
This is why GLP ones work and work so well, when I was on it, I barely ate anything and now I know that is what it would take to remain very thin.

Alenna :
You also have to take into account genetics - not just in terms of looks/body shape, but in terms of metabolism, and what that metabolism does under high stress/anxiety conditions. Of course, no one is going to mention that in the content you're referring to, so everyone thinks the other person is just like that.

Jennifer Ames 🆘🇺🇸😢 :
Totally agree with what she is saying. I have seen all of this first hand with my daughter who has been battling anorexia for over 8 years. It has affected her in every way including physically and mentally. We can all tell when things are getting bad again because we can see the ED “monster” coming out in her personality and actions

I feel like shit if I eat too much food. I just can’t get it out of my head that everything is poisoned.

LURLEEN LADD :
Women are taught to focus on their dress size not their insides. As in, "how am I feeling, how's my energy?" that's the shift away from self abandonment to actual nourishment in all forms. Working on this myself.

Or... amphetamines. That's how I was so thin all through my 20s. Truth.
